It's crazy really, but if you see all the entries in competitions like that one and other ones like the "Best French Artisan" competitions, you realize quickly that it's so hard to differentiate between 18 different versions of the same dish, that any little bit helps. I love to abricoter. But on strawberry tarts I do it with Strawberry jam...évidemment =)Hildahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11374952727078800524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-20833155319779817202007-05-29T14:00:00.000-04:002007-05-29T14:00:00.000-04:00Oh la la... votre blog... quel délice !Oh la la... votre blog... quel délice !She Who Flieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07303572884534118274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-10580242770834398342007-05-29T12:40:00.000-04:002007-05-29T12:40:00.000-04:00Scrumptious!I definitely can see my reflection in ...Scrumptious!<BR/>I definitely can see my reflection in these!<BR/>Violetteviolettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-42882998092829355652007-05-29T12:31:00.000-04:002007-05-29T12:31:00.000-04:00Each time I treat myself to one of the glazed tart...Each time I treat myself to one of the glazed tarts in Paris I try to leave some of the glaze on my lips and it is THE BEST EVER lip gloss as it tastes divine.

Isn't it funny, the things that will get people all excited? Cups, I love those cups. Maybe it is the fantasy of sitting there on the street having the coffee and the satisfaction of the empty cup. I don't know, maybe it is because it seems the french don't fool around when it comes to cups, they are sturdy and they seem to say "I mean business". *sigh*Paulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16911094972820071183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-35304705383142452172007-05-29T09:27:00.000-04:002007-05-29T09:27:00.000-04:00Thats like buying Apples..Dont you go for the nice...Thats like buying Apples..Dont you go for the nice shinny polished looking one over a dull lack luster apple even tho it should have the same taste? and the operative word is SHOULD. ;-)<BR/>My mouth is watering now.
